Inexpensive lure that works!I have just recently got back into fishing. I used to fish mainly for catfish.
Moving into bass has been a blast. I'm learning ever time I cast.
These 2'-4' diving lures are perfect for the ponds I fish. They aren't very deep.
I have tried a couple of different colors but seem to have the best luck with the Sexy Shad.
I like to try different baits and techniques every time I fish but if I don't do so well I can always rely on the Sexy Shad to bring one in for me.
Great price for the beginners.

Great lure actionI've bought these for a long time now and have caught many 3 to 5 pound bass on them. Just wish they made them in deep diving models.you can't go wrong with these, just as good as 6 dollar strike kings

Overall greatI have been buying these crankbaits for over a year and have had tremendous luck. This bait has life-like graphics and the eyes onlyadd to it. Most of my fish have been over one and a half pounds. Highly recommend this bait for begginers and experts alike

Dynamic lure for bassThe lure is fantastic for shallow bass over grass and weeds. However, the VMC hooks break and bend easily. When replacing the hooks, the description for the lure states that it has 2 - #6 VMC treble hooks. However, THAT IS INCORRECT. The #6 VMC hooks sold by Academy allow the barbs to overlap each other, thereby causing the hooks to catch each other. Therefore, one has to use #8 VMC hooks for replacements.

From time to time, Academy Sports + Outdoors runs sweepstakes in connection with its Ratings and Reviews. Certain of the reviews posted above on this page may have entitled the author to a sweepstakes entry.

Is this bait more like 2 1/4 instead of 2 inches? I lost my only one and I am trying to figure out which one to buy over the internet. I measured nose to tail, not bill to tail. In other words I measured just the length of the bait without the bill.

Why is this bait not available in bluegill or ghost gill ?
